What a year for the 29-year-old from Lower Austria: after the two world titles in Cortina, today the official super-g cup 13 years after Reichelt and 9 years after the last won by the Wunderteam in speed (Klaus Kroell in 2012).

Three victories, including his first in Kitzbuehel, the two world golds in downhill and super-g in Cortina and today in Lenzerheide the party for his first crystal ball.
Well, that 2020/21 was simply the season of consecration for Vincent Kriechmayr, who brought back to Austria a super-g cup that had been missing since 2008, the year in which Hannes Reichelt triumphed, who just a few hours ago greeted all of them after announcing yesterday the retirement from competition. And to think that the Wunderteam did not conquer a final classification of specialties at the level of fast disciplines, since 2012 when Klaus Kroell conquered that of descent.
With 401 points obtained in six races, Kriechmayr amply deserved this trophy, whose verdict was postponed to the final race, which was then not played, by the amazing Marco Odermatt winner in Saalbach and in the end second with 83 points behind the class '' 91 from Lower Austria. And on the final podium Matthias Mayer went up again, already 2nd in the downhill and in this case 3rd with 276 points, preceding the luxury injured Mauro Caviezel and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, in a ranking with little blue since Innerhofer finished 11 ° and Paris 19th.
"I'm sorry to miss the last race, but for me obviously it's a beautiful situation - Kriechmayr's words to the FIS microphones after the award ceremony - I didn't start very well, then a wonderful season came out even if I expected something more from the descent . The two titles of Cortina and this cup, what about ...
I want to thank all the people who have been by my side and say hello to Hannes; a super person with whom I shared many years in the team, I take off my hat in front of him and his wonderful career ".
